EPISODE - 3 Growing up Tyr Goldsmith was exposed to a lot of time at Take-off and the LZ. He took this opportunity to play with wings and practice ground handling, something we should all do a bit more.

Episode 3 wakes Tyr up from his dreams of flying and throws him into the flying kitchen to find out about why ground handling is so important.
